Managing projects across multiple authorities shouldn’t mean remembering which authorities to log into, having to log in via a specific page, or manually reposting projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Match My Project gives you one account that works across every authority you’re registered with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Logging in<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Access any authority from the login page<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Your credentials work on any login page, regardless of authority<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Any bookmarked pages still work \u2014 the old URLs will still get you to the right place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you’re registered with more than one authority, you’ll see a welcome page after logging in where you can choose which account to access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Switching between authorities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A switcher at the top of your sidebar lets you move between authorities with a single click. No need to open new browser windows or tabs to check each one separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click the dropdown next to the authority name to see all the authorities you have access to, or to apply to more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Save time and keep track of your projects more easily<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 No logging out and back in to switch between authorities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Posting to multiple authorities at once<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you post a project or offer, you can select additional authorities to post to \u2013 no need to duplicate projects manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Fill in your project or offer details and click ‘Complete’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Choose whether you want to post to other authorities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Select which authorities you want<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. New tabs open for each authority so you can review locations (for in-kind support offers) or outcomes (for community-led projects) and finalise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Choose to submit immediately, or save each project as a draft<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why this matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For community organisations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where authorities overlap, or if you serve communities across authority boundaries, this reduces your admin burden. Post your project once, select the relevant authorities, and you’re done. Save time posting, increase your chances of matching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For suppliers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

National and regional suppliers with contracts across multiple authorities can manage everything from one account. See all your projects, matches, and tasks across all authorities without switching logins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For authorities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fewer login queries to handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Getting started<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re registered with one authority<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can register with more authorities at any time. Look for the authority switcher at the top of your sidebar and select ‘Add authority’ when you’re ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re already registered with multiple authorities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you log in, you’ll be asked to choose which authority to start with. From there, switch between authorities at any time using the sidebar switcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good to know<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Each authority still approves users and projects independently<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Projects can still only match with one authority (no double-counting)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 Your login credentials work the same way, wherever you log in<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We’d love your feedback<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Match My Project handles the admin \u2013 the matching, the coordination, the logistics \u2013 so you can focus on the relationships and delivery that strengthen communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
